Customer Reviews The North Face Router

Purchased this for a trip to China - I didn't want to check luggage so wanted a backpack with space to spare. This bag was perfect! Kept my laptop safe. Straps allowed you to expand to contract the bag to perfectly fit my gear. It was also super comfortable- we had many trips across the country so I was wearing it frequently.

This pack is HUGE. Fits everything I need when traveling - Small enough to not be cumbersome as a carry-on backpack whether traveling for work or personal. Functionally perfect to be a carry-on if you're traveling for both business AND personal. Fits my laptop and electronics and allows me to carry necessities for my 2 kids that need plenty of On-Plane entertainment.

Great bag with tons of room super lightweight too

This bag is big enough to pack for several days travel with room left over for computer and accessories. It feels very sturdy and straps are very comfortable.

Had the Surged before. It had more zipped compartments.

Awesome backpack! Make larger compartments than the other backpacks I have for other purposes

Great bag but very large. Good for tall people.

Can hold a lot but still fits shorter people

Used for trip to Colorado and now using as my backpack for daily use

Everything seems up to par. Great design (kinda) strange having the zipper on the felt pocket on the bottom. (?) . AND why not put something over the zippers rather than having them exposed to the elements? I just received it, and will follow up in 3 months. But the material and quality of the build are very nice. I really want to love this bag.

Great backpack, perfect size for a men

This is my daily back pack, I love it. I have my iPad pro 12.9 and a 16" Mac book pro in there at all times. It feels secure and comfortable on my back. Enough room to carry around some clothes if I need them

Great backpack for traveling

Great durable, backpack

This backpack is well made and can hold a lot of weight. Plenty of room for large books and a laptop. The straps are comfortable distributing the weight well.

My daughter loves this backpack. She uses it for high school but will bring it to Europe this summer and college in the fall. It's big & sturdy enough to hold alot. She loves the laptop sleeve. The waterproof material is also a plus. The dark color doesn't show dirt. We also love the pocket for water bottle.

I use the bag for daily commute to work. There are some great things about this bag. The laptop pocket is organized very well and is capacious for even huge laptops like mine. The main compartment is also great. The zippers are great; very good barrier against rain. Lots of room, very comfortable to wear while traveling. Plenty of padding all around. I definitely recommend this bag

Fit 17 lap top perfect

I use the Router Backpack daily for work and travel. It's super sturdy, light and comfortable to carry. The excellent padding inside the bag does a great job of protecting my laptop. I love all the storage pockets it has.

Great backpack but too large for the gift recipient. Great for travel and work combination trips but too big for every day.

I use the pack as my everyday work bag. I needed a supportive backpack for my shoulder per doctor's orders. It is very supportive and fits everything I need for work. The only thing I don't like is that it is a little stiff.

It's spacious and fits so much stuff. If I travel without a suitcase I don't even take a carry one anymore, I just use this backpack. Perfect for 3 or 4 day trips. I don't use plastic bags anymore when o go grocery shopping and just fit it all in this back. My iPad and MacBook are perfectly protected. It's comfortable to wear even if I put a lot of weight in it and the back of the backpack lets your back breath so you don't sweat too much plus you don't have anything sticking out against your back.

Huge capacity, but still trying to figure out the upside down pocket

This is a solid backpack. I use it for work and it holds everything I need (lunch, jacket, iPad/laptop, and has great organizers pockets). I do wish the large main compared 1 or 2 pockets to offer organization in this compartment but overall, really great backpack

I use this product for travel. It's bigger than the other backpacks. More space for my laptop and personal stuff. This a great buy for me.
